Hello, everyone!
My name is Xue Ba. It's my honor to share some of my experience with you. I think I have always dealt with my junior life well. Not only can I get good grades, but also I can live a full and meaningful life. Some of my experience is as follows.
Have a clear life goal. I have always wanted to enter Tsinghua University and get an excellent education, so I know I should take every single day seriously. That's why I can keep working hard without getting tired.
Have a good time management. For each person, we have 24 hours every day. What makes a difference is the way we use it. I always value my time and make good use of every minute. As a matter of fact, I often do my homework between classes and almost all the homework can be done before evening comes. As for the time I save up, I spend it doing some extra (额外的) exercises or reading some good books my Chinese teacher recommends (推荐). Actually, I am the best at writing in my class. I think reading helps a lot.
Do sports. I spend about 20 minutes doing sports every day. I think it is very important for us. I can build up my body by doing that. I am now the tallest and strongest boy in my class. What's more, I always become full of energy after doing sports.
Develop at least one healthy habit. I can play several musical instruments such as the violin, erhu and the piano, but my favorite is drums. Whenever I feel stressed out, I will play the drums and that always helps me cheer up once more. I strongly suggest everyone develop a healthy habit to help you deal with stress when necessary.
That's all I want to share with you. I hope it can be of some help. Let's all try our best to live our junior life without regrets.
